Like I said, KVM isn't all that mature yet, but it works for me on three very important counts:
- VMs are very stable - the technology is fast, all the benchmarks show KVM to be the fastest of the freeware virtualization technologies - it's free A couple of thoughts if you decide to use it. Avoid the GUI virutal machine manager for now. I've had server lockups (on the host) when running it. Use virsh on the command line to manage VMs instead. once you get a VM running with virsh, from inside the virsh prompt you can type vncdisplay <vmname> and get a VNC port number you can use to connect to the display for the running VM. My XP VM shows up as 127.0.0.1:0, for instance. You might have to do some hunting around on the wikis and blogs, but if you do you will find there is plenty of information out there on KVM. Lastly, if you discover anything interesting, blog about it and share the info. On Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 4:45 AM, Scott Raley -ITC <[email protected]>wrote: > Thanks..
